[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 202467, member: 4"] Hi Timo, I think it's a matter of bad timing, rather than reduced activity. According to our statistics from both Google and Cloudflare the usage is more or less steady, and "useful" activity (e.g. clicking links and looking at pages) is up - especially on mobile, since the new version of vBulletin is way better at mobile. Overall traffic to all forums has been slowing, as a lot of discussion has shifted to Facebook. Just the way things are going! Please keep bringing us problems, bugs, etc. We pretty much had to upgrade to this new version of vBulletin to remain high performance enough on the modern Internet and not become a security problem. We delayed as long as possible, because vB has a small development team so earlier releases didn't have all the features we needed stable. Fortunately the developers are pretty responsive and David is getting regressions fixed as quickly as possible - and working on new features every day. The new software is also much faster and more efficient in most areas, and will become even better after we polish our integration with nginx and Cloudflare. In the end the interface is going to take some adjusting for everyone, especially for us on the back end, but switching to vB Version 5 is much better in the long run for this forum. Many thanks for your patience as we clumsily transition, and make improvements. We love this community and are working on ideas to make this format continue to make sense for all y'all in a Facebook world in the future. Thanks again to our wonderful advertisers as well who make it possible to keep this place up. [/QUOTE]
